both husband (down 15 already) and I drink both alcohol and coffee.

2 cups or more coffee each am and 2 drinks each evening. mostly vodka/scotch and husband drinks the lite beer.

I think it all boils down to 'calories in and calories out'...I just do my "fitday journal" and if my calories are going above 1800 (my required to lose amount) I stop eating/drinking.

still get my 3 cups of low carb veggies (20-30 grams) and protein (66 +).

my weight is dropping finally after two months because I was eating 2200 cals per day... and alot of nuts/cheese...

figured out that I just needed to cut the calories.
